As I can't stand mayo, it's great to find a really tasty potato salad recipe that doesn't need it. This will become a summer/party favourite for sure!

Made this for a picnic today. Only modified slightly - used barely any oil at all and warmed all the dressing ingredients in a pan before pouring over potatoes. I also used one large red onion instead of small and red wine vinegar instead of cider.
Went down a treat with everyone, I will make it again!

This was so easy, and very very tasty- just as nice cold the next day! Went down a treat with dinner guests! I heated the dressing in microwave first so sugar started to dissolve then poured over onions and left on a low temp for about 30 mins before serving- otherwise sugar didn't really do anything!

I like the sour dressing! It's a wonderful dish with red meat.

I was disappointed to be honest. I left mine overnight, and then ate them cold as part of a 'pot luck' lunch, but they hadn't really taken on much flavour.
